Palm rolls out firmware update for Verizon’s Palm Treo 755p

What better way to keep that aging smartphone from feeling a little less “wise” in years, especially when compared with the new wave of smartphone hotness slated to drop in the coming months, than to give it a quick firmware update? To be fair, the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Treo 755p isn’t exactly old, but the Palm handset’s Palm OS sure is getting long in the tooth.
So, to keep things as fresh as possible and make good on their promise, Palm has just released a firmware update, something they call a “tune up,” for Verizon (NYSE: VZ)’s Palm OS-powered Palm Treo 755p.
The new v1.08 firmware apparently improves the phone application, stability, and usability of the Treo 755p. We’re not sure exactly what those improvements entail, but there’s no reason why Verizon-loving Palm Treo 755p owners shouldn’t hope on board and upgrade their smartphone immediately.

If you use your Treo 755p with a Palm Comfort Plus (hard-wired) car kit, DO NOT upgrade to Verizon firmware version 1.08. Doing so will render your car kit useless, as I painfully discovered after my phone had to be replaced. I’m having a difficult time dealing with Palm and Verizon, trying to get them to roll back my firmware to version 1.06, so that I may again use it with the car kits I have installed in my two cars.
Hello. Did you ever get the rollback to 1.06? I have the same problem you describe, and would be grateful for any advice on how to accomplish the rollback.
